Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas?


There is a pair of Apogee Diva's (and coincidentally Duetta 2's) nearby for sale. I have just heard the Magnepan 3.6r in an excellent room with new Macintosh 501 monos (sounded excellent). However, I do not have experience with the Diva's or Duetta's. How sonically comparable are these speakers (Maggie vs. Apogee) in your exerience? Is service a problem for the Apogee's now they are no longer in production? Thanks to all for your advice!

Campbelr,

I would also go with the Apogees over the Maggies.

The Apogees have so much potential - but you do have to
set them up properly since they are more setup sensitive
than the Maggies.

If you don't optimally setup the Apogees - they could easily
lose to the Maggies, which are more tolerant of poor setup.

But setup the Apogees properly, provide them with the
amplification they need - and the Maggies can't touch them.
